With so much focus on the Dutton Ranch in various Yellowstone shows, is the location at the center of Taylor Sheridan‘s hit TV franchise a real place?

Yellowstone, which premiered in 2018, introduced viewers to the fictional Dutton family, who own the largest ranch in Montana. As the fictional universe grew, so did the amount of Yellowstone shows located at the ranch, which is actually known as Chief Joseph Ranch.

Rancher Shane Libel and his family previously spoke about how Yellowstone producers scouted the location.

“[Taylor] looked around and said, ‘That’s the bunkhouse right there,’” Libel told TV Insider in 2022. “He started walking around and calling out scenes as he saw them. ‘Episode 1, Act 3 here!’ And an assistant was writing everything down. The location director looked at me and said, ‘I think you have it.’”

Since Yellowstone debuted in 2018, the story of the Dutton family has had enough potential to inspire six spinoffs (and counting) to add to the Paramount Network roster — but with that has come delays. Yellowstone focuses on a powerful family that runs the largest contiguous ranch in the United States. Amid their success, the […]

In addition to Chief Joseph Ranch, Yellowstone and 1923 filmed in Utah and the real-life Crow Indian Reservation. The Yellowstone franchise, meanwhile, has expanded to include 1883, The Madison, Y: Marshals, The Dutton Ranch, 1944 and 6666.

Where Is Dutton Ranch Located?

Yellowstone and 1923 were filmed at Chief Joseph Ranch, which is a working cattle ranch in Montana. Libel and his loved ones currently reside on the property that is five hours away from Yellowstone National Park.

Does ‘Yellowstone’ Film on the Real Ranch?

“This is the real deal. This is what makes this show sing, is that this lodge has actually become a character in our show,” Yellowstone set decorator Carla Curry said in a 2021 video while filming the show. “This is not a set. This is not on stage. This is a private home that we are lucky enough to be in.”

She continued: “It is historically an unbelievably irreplaceable home. So we’re proud of it, we want to keep the integrity of it, and we wanna honor our additional cast member here.”

Who Owns Chief Joseph Ranch?

Libel has owned the Chief Joseph Ranch since 2012, telling TV Insider, “We fell in love with it [and] the history, the buildings — just the ranch itself.”

The rancher was on set while Yellowstone was in production. (The main lodge featured on the show used to be a bed and breakfast but has since become Libel’s home.)

“The most surreal thing in the world — and the most humbling thing in the world is when you’re sitting in your own living room watching a show that’s filmed in your house,” Libel said in a 2021 Yellowstone promotional video.

Who Can Visit the Ranch?

During most of 2025, fans could travel to Chief Joseph Ranch before it closed to guests for the winter months. Visitors could stay at guest cabins, which would allow them to tour the location.

The Chief Joseph Ranch offered a Lee Dutton Cabin, the Rip Cabin and the Fisherman’s Cabin — with a nightly rate of over $1,000 for each. Chief Joseph Ranch’s website noted that the Lee Cabin was built in 1916 and overlooks the Bitterroot River.

“The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” star Taylor Frankie Paul is speaking out about the resurfacing of her 2023 assault video. On social media, the reality TV personality said that the clip being reshared online would likely cause significant harm to her three minor children.

Taylor Frankie Paul Speaks Out About Resurfaced Assault Video, Says It Will Cause Harm To Her Children

“Worst part is my daughter having to relive and see it all over again years later, after extensive work with her and apologies to her about that night,” Paul commented on a TikTok video. “And my baby boy birthday was taken from him.”

Paul’s comments come days after a shocking video showing her assaulting her ex-boyfriend, Dakota Mortensen, was shared online. In the clip, Paul strikes, pulls his hair, and even throws metal chairs at him.

During the incident, one of the chairs hit her minor daughter in the head, which reportedly left bruising.

Paul was arrested and charged with felonious assault following the encounter, and has spoken openly about the situation on “SLOMOW” and in various interviews.

Taylor Frankie Paul Faces Major Consequences Following The Release Of Her 2023 Assault Video

The release of the video led ABC and Disney to cancel what would’ve been the 22nd season of the popular dating show, “The Bachelorette.”

“In light of the newly released video just surfaced today, we have made the decision to not move forward with the new season of The Bachelorette at this time, and our focus is on supporting the family,” a Disney spokesperson said.

The cancellation of “The Bachelorette” is a major deal for the network, as they’re reportedly set to lose more than $10 million. Additionally, according to The Blast, the contestants of the now-canceled season are considering filing a lawsuit against Disney/ABC for wasting their time.

Per the report, five of the men are weighing their legal options, considering that they put their lives on pause, quit their jobs, and turned down financial opportunities in exchange for social media fame and C-list notoriety.

Taylor Frankie Paul Previously Defended Her Social Media Use During This Time

Following the release of the video and the cancellation of “The Bachelorette,” Paul has remained on social media, replying to commenters and issuing what appear to be sarcastic statements.

A previous report from The Blast states that Paul was recently slammed online after replying to a “SLOMW” watcher who told her to consider putting her phone down for the time being.

“Want me to stare at the wall instead?” she wrote back in a since-deleted comment, to which one user replied, “Absolutely. The beautiful walls of a luxury treatment facility that she is lucky she can afford.”

Users Clap Back At Paul For Mentioning Daughter In Latest Statement

Several social media users replied to Paul’s latest comment about her daughter, blasting the reality star for appearing tone-deaf.

“I miss when people stayed off the internet for a good few months or years after getting cancelled this bad,” someone wrote, while another said, “Queen of zero accountability strikes again! I’m surprised she didn’t blame her daughter for throwing the d-mn chair.”

A third user chimed in, writing, “Actually Taylor, the worst part is that, that incident happened to begin with, that your daughter will never forget it happened, and that you then continue to be in relationship with Dakota and had a child with him, thereby bringing another child into this unsafe, unhealthy environment and tying yourself to Dakota for the rest of your life.”

Others even called her parenting into question, such as one user, who posted, “Admitting your daughter at 8 years old has enough internet access to find it in the first place is not the own she thinks it is.”

‘Secret Lives Of Mormon Wives’ Spin-Off In The Works

Amid the drama, a new report from PEOPLE has surfaced, revealing Hulu is working on a “Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” spin-off, which will star Jen Affleck and a cast of nine other newbies.

A source told the outlet that production on the series will begin soon in Orange County and will air in the fall. The news of the spin-off comes after production on season 5 of the OG “Mormon Wives” series was paused in March due to an alleged domestic dispute between Paul and Mortensen in February 2026.

Fresh footage of Solange Knowles’ son has set social media buzzing after a series of clips showed him spending time with reality TV star Tommie Lee. 

Daniel “Julez” J. Smith Jr. quickly became the focus of online conversation as viewers reacted to their interactions during a night out. 

The videos didn’t just spark dating speculation; they also brought renewed attention to Julez’s life in the spotlight, something he has previously addressed in candid detail.

Solange Knowles’ Son Julez And Tommie Lee’s Night Out Make The Headlines

The speculation began with a set of clips shared by The Shade Room on Instagram, showing Solange Knowles’ son and Tommie Lee together during a night out.

One of the most talked-about moments, seemingly reported from her Snapchat, featured Lee filming herself while Julez carried her on his back. As they laughed and talked, he said, “Typa sh*t you do when you like somebody.”

The 41-year-old rapper responded by calling him, “My baby. So fine,” leaning into the playful exchange. 

Julez then joked that it was “hard to be fine” while carrying someone, but she quickly fired back, “Still fine,” as both continued laughing.

Another clip from the same night showed Lee holding onto Julez’s arm after getting down from his back.

In that moment, the pair were heard laughing about their “crazy weekend,” suggesting they had spent more time together beyond what was shown in a single video.

Additional footage from the same outing gave a clearer look at how Solange Knowles’ son and the “Love & Hip Hop Atlanta” star spent their time together inside an event venue.

In one clip included in an Instagram carousel, the two were seen watching a female contortionist perform. 

As the performance unfolded, a male voice, appearing to be Julez, reacted by asking, “You can do that?”

The video included overlaid text that appeared to be a response to the voice’s question.

It read, “Sure can [two laughing emojis] and better,” continuing the same playful tone seen throughout the night.

Solange Knowles’ Son Opens Up About Early Scrutiny And ‘Misconceptions’

As the videos circulate, Julez has already spoken about what it means to grow up under constant public attention.

During a recent livestream, he revealed the biggest challenge of being in the public eye as “Misconceptions,” explaining that people have been forming opinions about him since “the start of [my] life.”

He shared a specific moment from his childhood, saying per PEOPLE, “Look, the first time I ever heard of myself in the media was [when] I was in seventh grade, and my mom posted this picture of me.” In that image, Julez was dressed as LL Cool J in a red jumpsuit at age 13.

What followed was immediate backlash. “This is grown -ss adults who was calling me gay at what, 13?” he said, pointing out how early and harsh the public reaction was.

The model also recalled being labeled a “pretty boy,” highlighting how strangers made assumptions about him at a young age despite knowing nothing about his life.

Solange Knowles’ Family Addressed Elevator Incident After Global Fallout

Solange Knowles and her family have been in the spotlight multiple times in recent months. 

In December 2025, the 2014 elevator incident involving Jay-Z and her sister Beyoncé resurfaced after a designer revealed what allegedly caused the altercation.

Recall that the moment, captured on surveillance footage at a New York hotel following the Met Gala, showed Knowles physically confronting the rapper while Beyoncé stood nearby. 

The video quickly spread after being released, leading to widespread speculation about what had happened.

In a joint statement issued to the Associated Press after the footage went public, the trio said, “There has been a great deal of speculation about what triggered the unfortunate incident,” before emphasizing, “the most important thing is that our family has worked through it.”

They added that both parties “acknowledge their role in this private matter that has played out in the public” and confirmed that apologies had been made.

The statement also pushed back on certain claims, saying, “The reports of Solange being intoxicated or displaying erratic behavior throughout that evening are simply false.”

Rachel Roy’s Designer Reveals What Caused The Drama

As The Blast reported, fashion designer Oscar G. Lopez, who created Rachel Roy’s Met Gala gown, claimed the situation escalated after an interaction during the event. 

He said, “I think that Jay complimented her about the gown and Beyoncé’s sister felt that it was not proper, so it was a kind of a drama there.”

The surveillance footage, which had no audio, showed Knowles kicking and punching Jay-Z while a bodyguard attempted to restrain her. 

Jay-Z did not retaliate; instead, he raised his arms and backed away, while Beyoncé stood nearby.

After the video was released, it spread quickly and dominated headlines. Lopez later noted how the attention impacted him, saying Roy had been “late” to the event and missed the red carpet, but “the dress was all over the news.”

He added, “Any press is good press,” and described the situation as “a collateral damage,” saying, “It was meant to be.”

At its best, Kim’s Convenience was one of the most heartfelt sitcoms on television. Ironically, for a show celebrated for representing the Korean Canadian immigrant experience, the series eventually stumbled due to a lack of Asian voices in the writer’s room. The CBC series followed the Kim family — parents Appa (Paul Sun-Hyung Lee) and Umma (Jean Yoon), who run a humble corner shop in downtown Toronto. As first-generation immigrants, they frequently come across generational and cultural gaps with both their children and the city’s diverse customers.

Even after closing hours, their responsibilities didn’t end. Their artistic daughter, Janet (Andrea Bang), who also helps at the store, struggles to break away from the family business and find independence. Meanwhile, Appa and Umma attempt to reconnect with their estranged eldest son, Jung (Simu Liu). For a story that’s all about nuance, Kim’s Convenience requires a writer’s room that’s able to capture these different perspectives without undermining a person’s experiences, especially working-class immigrants. Unfortunately, behind all the laughs, Kim’s Convenience ultimately failed because of this one mistake.

Kim’s Convenience Was Unexpectedly Cancelled After 5 Seasons

Despite rave reviews, Kim’s Convenience abruptly ended after five seasons on April 13, 2021. The cancellation followed the departure of co-creators Ins Choi and Kevin White, who left the show to start other projects. The show’s producers, Thunderbird Films, decided that they could not continue with another season without Choi and White, as they could not guarantee the “same heart and quality.” In the aftermath, the show’s leading stars publicly expressed their hurt from the cancellation. While Lee didn’t discuss the behind-the-scenes of what actually happened, he admitted that the show “died from within,” noting that a show as good as Kim’s Convenience would eventually falter if the internal issues aren’t properly resolved.

Meanwhile, Liu shared his side of the story as to what happened. The actor revealed that many producers were white and that the writer’s room lacked East Asian and female representation. Aside from Choi, there were reportedly no Korean writers shaping stories about a Korean Canadian family. Yoon expressed the same sentiment, doubling down on the “lack of Asian female, especially Korean writers in the writers room…” These characteristics became increasingly evident in later seasons. Storylines grew culturally clumsy, including moments such as Umma being mistaken for a server by a white jury member and the “naked Zumba” gag, in which nude-colored shorts made it appear as though she was naked from the waist down.

The Kim’s Convenience Spin-Off ‘Strays’ Stars the Only White Character from the Original Show

The final nail in the coffin came shortly after the Season 5 finale. About five months after Kim’s Convenience ended, CBC released a spin-off to the original show titled Strays. Instead of featuring the Kim characters, Strays stars Shannon Ross (Nicole Power) as she takes on a new career path as executive director of an animal shelter. Fans may remember Shannon from Kim’s Convenience as the manager of Jung’s workplace, Handy Car Rentals, and also his former girlfriend. Considering the majority of the cast were Asian, the fact that the singular white woman from the original show — rather than the main Korean-Canadian family — got a spin-off does not look good from a representation standpoint.

However, in the producers’ defense, making Shannon the lead character of Strays was not an accidental choice. For context, Kim’s Convenience was initially created by Choi as a play that premiered on July 6, 2011. Shannon is the only character who did not originate from the play and was created specifically for the television series. Following Choi’s departure, the producers still retained the rights to Shannon’s character, giving them the creative liberty to develop a spin-off without Choi’s involvement. Although Shannon’s prominence may come across as non-representational, it is also largely a matter of logistics — and an attempt to keep the Kim’s Convenience universe alive.

Although the disappointment surrounding Kim’s Convenience‘s cancellation still lingered, Lee publicly voiced his support for Power. They first met during the production of Season 1 in 2016, when they shared several scenes. Lee went on to praise her work ethic throughout the series and ultimately expressed his support for the spin-off as well, citing that, “There are super fabulous and talented actors who are part of that cast and I’m also a fan of the writers as I worked with many of them during my time at Kim’s and consider them friends too.”

As for Liu, in a conversation with Collider’s Therese Lacson, he reflected on the cancellation and said he is “currently at a place where he’s just so grateful that it all happened.” While he acknowledged his disappointment, Liu did not deny that his public criticism stemmed from personal frustration as well. “I certainly wasn’t where I wanted to be — and especially when you don’t feel like you’re getting the material that is emblematic or indicative of your skill level,” the actor said, continuing to say, “It’s a very specific trigger that is repeated at many points in my career, that I’m not being seen. When I feel that way, it’s really hard to rein me in.” It’s an understandable response, given that he was only beginning to break through at the time and had yet to become widely known as Marvel’s Shang-Chi or take on his subsequent high-profile projects. Although the cast of Kim’s Convenience has now moved on, it’s hard to deny that the legacy of a great sitcom has ultimately been marred by the way it ended.

Viewers who grew up on Disney Channel can’t help but feel nostalgic watching their favorite stars grow up. Since ‘Jessie’ ended in 2015, the cast has experienced major life changes. In 2019, they faced the heartbreaking passing of Cameron Boyce, who played Luke on the hit show. Since then, stars like Skai Jackson, Karan Brar, Debby Ryan, Peyton List, and Kevin Chamberlin entered new chapters. From building families to taking on fresh projects, the cast has continued to grow, on and off screen. Recently, some of the cast linked up, and while Cameron’s absence was deeply felt, fans also noticed that Skai wasn’t present.  The actress later spoke out, explaining why she didn’t attend.

‘Jessie’ Cast Members Reunite In New York City

On Sunday, Kevin Chamberlin, best known as the beloved butler Bertram on ‘Jessie,’ took to Instagram to share a series of photos alongside Debby Ryan, Karan Brar, and Peyton List. The caption read, “It feels like a party every day with @debbyryan @karanbrar @peytonlist.”

Under the post, the Cameron Boyce Foundation account dropped a series of purple heart emojis, calling them “our favorite people and showing love. Debby Ryan also shared her own carousel, including a photo of the ‘Data’ playbill, writing, “Karan’s play is so good,” adding, “sharp and intense and timely and his performance is so compelling.”

She wrapped up her caption by reflecting on their growth, writing, “Karan & Peyton are 9 years older than I was when we started filming Jessie. Currently NINE years older than the character of Jessie. And they and Kevin are living in NYC for real and thriving in theater. I have a kid of my own… family.”

Karan Brar also expressed his gratitude thanking Debby and Kevin, writing, “Can’t believe these two came all this way to see me yap on stage.”

Just weeks earlier, Kevin had also linked up with Peyton and Karan, sharing a heartfelt message about their accomplishments. He wrote, “So insanely proud of both Karan and Peyton on their NYC theater debuts. Watching these two artists grow, constantly challenge themselves, and experience all that life has to offer has been an incredible gift. Don’t miss @peytonlist in Heathers (she’s brilliant) and @karanbrar in Data (he’s phenomenal) if you’re going to be in New York anytime soon.”

Peyton replied, “Love you forever Uncle Kev,” while Karan added, “Love you more than you know, Kev.” 

Skai Jackson Explains Why She Wasn’t In Attendance At The ‘Jessie’ Link-Up

While many ‘Jessie’ fans were feeling nostalgic, some took to Skai Jackson’s comments to question why she wasn’t pictured with the rest of the cast. One person wrote, “Why didn’t you come to the Jessie reunion?” The actress responded:

“It wasn’t a reunion. They all just happened to be in NYC and linked up. I don’t live in NYC, some of them do! Karan sent me the photo days ago.”

Under a post on The Shade Room Teens, Skai also addressed speculation about possible cast tension after a commenter wrote, “Ofc she was gonna speak on it but again she don’t like Emma for some reason so she definitely still wasn’t coming.” She quickly shut that down, replying, “Who told you that? Y’all are too invested in other people’s lives and always loud and wrong.”

Another commenter asked, “So a reunion?” Skai clarified, “A reunion is something that’s planned in advance. That wasn’t planned, they just all happened to be there. Hope that helps!”

Social Media Reacts 

Many gathered under The Shade Room Teens as they reacted to the nostalgic reunion. While many were happy to see the cast together, others mourned Cameron Boyce, wishing he was there. Others continued to debate Skai Jackson’s absence from the link-up. Some quickly entered the chat to defend the actress, urging people to leave her alone.

The Nader sisters are turning heads and embracing their most confident selves in a bold new campaign with women’s personal care brand Jukebox by Dr. Squatch. Spotted in eye-catching bubble-inspired looks on the streets of New York City, the reality stars are ushering in a new era for the brand, which is rolling out new packaging, expanded product categories, and new scents now available at Walmart and Target nationwide. But the Nader sisters’ campaign is about more than just a glow-up. Instead, it’s all about confidence, manifestation, and owning your power.

Inside The ‘Sisterhood Of Naked Ambition’ Campaign

At the center of the launch is Jukebox’s latest campaign, “Sisterhood of Naked Ambition,” which leans into themes of empowerment, self-expression, and chasing big dreams. The concept highlights the idea that even the smallest moments (like thoughts in the shower) can spark major life goals.

Through the campaign, the Nader sisters are encouraging women to take control of their own narratives and embrace the power of manifestation.

Nader Sisters Share Their Self-Care Rituals And Big Dreams

All four sisters, Brooks, Mary Holland, Grace Ann, and Sarah Jane, are bringing fans along for the journey on social media, offering a behind-the-scenes look at how their everyday routines fuel their ambitions. From shower rituals to self-care moments, the campaign emphasizes how confidence starts from within, and how those quiet moments can translate into big-time success.

“We are all obsessed with how Jukebox makes us feel, both in and out of the shower,” Brooks Nader said. “All of my sisters and I have been able to achieve some of our wildest dreams and biggest ambitions, some of which started as a shower idea.”

“It’s amazing what smelling good and feeling refreshed can do for your confidence,” Nader added. “Not only do I feel great in my skin when I use Jukebox, but I’m empowered to take on whatever is next for me.”

Jukebox Calls Nader Sisters Collaboration A ‘No-Brainer’

According to Jukebox, teaming up with the Nader sisters was an easy decision, thanks to their close bond and shared message of empowerment.

“Partnering with the Nader sisters to introduce this new era of Jukebox was a no-brainer,” Maggie Dunn, Head of Jukebox, said. “Their sisterhood is magnetic, the spirit of girlhood and confidence to pursue their own dreams and cheer one another on is what Jukebox is all about. We want every woman to feel that same joy and freedom to be fully herself when she lathers up with Jukebox, and take that feeling with her everywhere she goes.”

“We’re so excited to be working with the Nader sisters to bring our ‘Sisterhood of Naked Ambition’ campaign to life and introduce the new look of Jukebox,” Dunn added. “Their dynamic perfectly captures the kind of girlhood we celebrate, joyful, supportive, and unapologetically ambitious.”

Sydney Sweeney’s Bathwater Campaign Divided Fans Online

The brand’s latest push also follows one of its most talked-about campaigns yet, starring Sydney Sweeney. The actress partnered with Dr. Squatch to launch a limited-edition soap called Sydney’s Bathwater Bliss, a product made using her actual bathwater. Only 5,000 bars were released, instantly turning the campaign into a viral moment across social media.

While some fans embraced the concept as bold and hilarious marketing, others were quick to criticize it, with many questioning the idea altogether. Sweeney addressed the backlash, telling WSJ Magazine, “It was mainly the girls making comments about it, which I thought was really interesting.”

“They all loved the idea of Jacob Elordi’s bathwater,” she added, referencing a provocative moment from the film Saltburn in which Barry Keoghan’s character consumes bathwater belonging to Jacob Elordi’s character.

Limited-Edition ‘Naked Ambition Crystals’ Add A Twist

As part of the campaign rollout, fans will have the opportunity to get their hands on a unique, limited-edition item: Naked Ambition Crystals. The crystals are sourced from Jukebox soap bars “wished upon” by the Nader sisters, adding a manifestation-inspired element to the launch.

Available as a gift with purchase on the brand’s website starting Monday, March 30 at 11:11 a.m. ET, the crystals will only be offered while supplies last, making them a must-have for fans looking to channel a little extra luck.

Howard Stern has opened up about his unexpected friendship with the late Carolyn Bessette, though he has promised not to reveal how they became close.

“I knew the real Carolyn Bessette,” the DJ, 72, revealed The Howard Stern Show on Monday, March 23 (via Rolling Stone). “I won’t say I knew her well, but we had many, many conversations, more than casual conversations. She was very lovely. She was a really nice woman … I don’t want to go into how I knew her, but I knew her. I know enough to keep my mouth shut about that.”

Stern went on, “Some stuff you do have to keep private … But she was very nice to me, very open and talkative. She didn’t give me the nose-up-in-the air kind of thing. I don’t have any juicy, gossipy story.”

The radio legend confirmed he had been watching Love Story — Ryan Murphy’s dramatization of Bessette and John F. Kennedy Jr.’s marriage — during his most recent break from The Howard Stern Show.

In March of 1998, John F. Kennedy Jr. and his wife, Carolyn Bessette, attended the wedding of friends Betsy Reisinger and Kenan Siegel in Miami. Photos from the event show the couple wrapped in a tight embrace, with Bessette’s arms around Kennedy’s neck, her head tilted back as she laughs with abandon. “Carolyn and John […]

Stern also knew Bessette’s late husband JFK Jr., having posed for the cover of Kennedy’s George Magazine in 1996. On Monday’s Stern Show, he revealed why he agreed to do a George photo shoot in an era when he was very selective about doing any magazine covers.

“I would do Rolling Stone and that was the only one,” Stern said. “But when John Kennedy Jr. [asks], who is literally American royalty and the nicest guy in the world … he was a super nice guy. And there was the opportunity that perhaps he’d come on the show.”

Stern revealed that Kennedy even showed up for his cover shoot, which cast him as George Washington in colonial attire. (George frequently had its cover stars dress in costumes from the Revolutionary War era.)

“He actually showed up to the shoot,” Stern remembered. “It’s one of the worst covers I ever did, and I did a lot of bad ones. They convinced me to be chopping down a cherry tree with a chainsaw dressed up in colonel garb. I guess I was supposed to be George Washington, but George Washington didn’t wear this s*** I was wearing. I looked like Paul Revere in drag.”

The Stern Show host added, “John and the photographer did that thing they do to supermodels. They go. ‘Gorgeous, you look great. This is the greatest cover.’ I’m posing while the guy is clicking away, and I’m posing like I’m Cindy Crawford or one of the Hadid sisters. That was before I knew about photo approval. I guess I kind of look like Captain Hook or something.”

In return for shooting the George cover, Kennedy granted The Howard Stern Show a rare interview in 1996, where he candidly discussed his relationship with Bessette. (Bessette and Kennedy got married at the First African Baptist Church on Cumberland Island, Georgia, in September 1996.)

Kennedy, Caroline and her sister Lauren Bessette were all killed in July 1999 when his private plane crashed off the coast of Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts.

The trio was en route to John’s cousin Rory Kennedy’s wedding to Mark Bailey at the Kennedy family compound in Hyannis Port when their plan encountered bad weather.
